Overcoming adversity by embracing that very adversity {EP04}

June 23, 2015

The format of this post is more conversational in nature, I want it to feel as though we are having an intimate conversation. I've personally gone through a lot of adverse situations and I'm still going through some very challenging ones right now with some health and other issues but right now I want to share with you some tips that have really helped me and use them to encourage you in whatever you are facing in your life right now.

Adversity

Let’s tell the truth, in our lives we face so many different kinds of adversity especially as diaspora immigrants regardless of generation (1st, 2nd, 3rd) or in Nigeria where we see so many things, probably too many for a young person. However, right from elementary school for instance if you're the new, unique/different or scrappy little kid in the yard lots of people will try to mess with you and that is your first lesson in adversity. Then you go to secondary/middle-high school after being a big shot in 6th grade/Primary 6 and you become the junior kid and you have to start all over proving yourself again. It's a tough life out there you have to prove yourself to your mates then you prove yourself to the seniors who often-times just want to see how far they can push you before you break. I thank God from my experiences in boarding school in Nigeria because you actually discover a lot of what you’re made of during those early years.
